About this map

Bordulac stands as the primary rail hub on this prairie landscape, situated where the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad cuts across the southern plains. This 1951 survey details a quintessential North Dakota township structure, defined by a grid of rural schools including School No 1, School No 3, and School No 4 that once served the farmsteads of Rose Hill and Bucephalia. The topography is shaped by the meandering path of Kelly Creek as it winds toward the basin of Lake George.

Social and religious life is anchored by St Johns Ch on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The hydrology of the area is distinct, featuring several shallow basins such as Dry Lake that illustrate the seasonal water patterns of the region before modern drainage alterations. This map provides a clear record of the post-war agrarian layout, capturing the specific locations of rural schoolhouses and the rail infrastructure that sustained these Central North Dakota communities.
